Trappist beers aren't any special kind of beer, they're simply beers brewed by monks in Trappist monasteries, which is some kind of order of monks or something. Anyway, it's not like trappist beers are any better or worse than other Belgian beers.
@@Ezekiel-18 If a beer is on the line I'm willing to down everything, but you're right, normally you don't down biers such a Val Dieu, Corne du bois des pendus, Orval or Chouffe. (And maes is disgusting BTW)
i wouldn't go that far, not everyone likes all possible varieties of Belgian beers especially those like Leffe and Pauwel Kwak - strong ales with essentially sweet malty profile as for the other "beer countries" - what about Germany and Czechia? as well as Britain and Ireland and don't forget that all this "craft revolution" has actually started in the US back in 70s what's true about Belgium is that it probably has the richest beer culture with lots of varieties and lots of breweries but if you ask me personally - to me a good barelywine or imperial stout is better than any Belgian beer
@@ReddoFreddo We're not even close to being the country with the most breweries in the world. We have great variety, but do some research before making such ridiculous claims.
@@elenal7559 we have a lot of imperial stout in belgium! (As well as ipa,New england ipa,Hoppy ale,triple,dubbel,pils,trappist,...etc) And we have si many craft breweries,and every year there are new ones! In brussels we have brussels beer project,the senne brewery that have becomes famous in craft beers in 2015,but there every year new ones like the obaa of this year! And sorry but I went to many countries around the Europe,and I can tell that we have better beers than the rest of Europes,every kinds of beers others countries are good at it we are often better at it! A lot of kind of beers were invented in belgium! Like the stout,the triple,..etc others countries have very good beers some times,and belgium also have bad beers like leffe,grimbergen,etc (all the famous and industrial beers) but we have so many beers and good ones,that I have to say that we are the Best at it! (Though I dont want to be arrogant) but I don't that they are the only good beers in the world 😉
It makes me so proud as a Belgian that we scared the Irish with the alcohol percentage in our beers. The IRISH!! :D Cheers mates! Plenty of more where that came from! ;-)
Johnnythefirst It's even more ironic when they label themselves as heavy drinkers but in reality they are freaking posers haha Imagine if they gave them Bush Ambrée, 12% which tastes like freaking Gordon beers actually
Well to be fair the facts crew are just babies with a drinking habit. Im an american born of irish descent and don't even drink all that much but 12% is normal for me and my friends lol
These stronger beers are (usualy) for enjoying while relaxing or after a good meal at a restaurant, though some poeple do binge em down while going out aswell (mostly Duvel). But for going drinking it's more pilsners, like Cristal, Jupiler, Maes, Primus.... (the list goes on)
Being a belgian, i am facepalming through my head, chugging leffe and la chouffe, you must be ashamed and not even using the right kind of glasses for it, smh, yall need to learn how to properly drink a beer
I would love to see the unedited footage of Shannon & Diane and Colin & Sean. It has to be absolutely hilarious. Make us happy, Facts! Release the footage!! ;-)
Robin i mean, cara pils aren’t that bad but it’s a kind of beer on it’s own you know? So some peoples who don’t like these kinds of beer treat cara pils like garbage beers.
i immediately cringed when they were pouring it in guinness glasses. If you're gonna show the beers, at least put them in their respected glasses. Or just in a chalice.
Kwak glasses are made for tourists. We challenge them to drink the glass in one go. Little do they know, the glass is made in such a way that at some point the glass creates a vacuum and the beer splashes all over them ;) Most Belgian beers are this strong yes. We have about 10 of them when we go drinking.
I'll admit to having bought the Kwak gift pack - when I'd finished the beer that came in it, I donated the glass to my local pub, so if I ask for any Belgian beers in there it'll come in a Kwak glass.
Well since im Belgian, u havent seen our best beers yet, they just picked up the standarts except for kwak and delirium. u should try Omer, Kasteelbier,Duvel, perhaps some Malheur or Petrus :)
I'm from BE and visited Ireland several times ... this video makes me laugh so hard because that's how the Irish are ... Passionate and above all a lot of FUN! Love you!!
The correct way to pour a beer is to give it a head, be rough with it. You want to release the CO2 into the air rather than your stomach, byebye beer bloats ;)
@@mightyjoeyoung1390 Really depends on the beer, it's better to have to many head than to little when it comes to Belgian beer. The head will turn into beer anyway.
Except for the Kwak, wrong glasses chaps! I kid you not, you only get to fully appreciate the beers from the glass that was designed for them. It's not only taste that counts, but also the aroma. Surely you're not drinkibg a fine Kilkenny from a whiskey tumbler 😆😆😆😆 Cheeeeers!
@Michael Dinneweth well I mean as a Belgian myself I can confirm sometimes it doesn’t mix but in all honesty I’ve had the opposite, I’m losing weight if I go back to Belgium for a bit since i moved to Ireland conveniently at 2 but I’m planning to move back just so I can enjoy the beauty once again.
You could use the correct glass for every beer, really makes the difference! Except Kwak 😜 Also, you should definitely try the various types of Westmalle and Kasteel, Chimay and Orval 😁 Nice video 😄
Please put Colin and Sean next to a swamp full of starved crocodiles with meat strapped around them in wheelchairs (on a sloped bank) with broken legs, arms and necks .. now that would be worth watching. These two idiots are about as funny as a burning orphanage.
Not surprising when you weigh it up... mass-produced multinational conglomerate brand... the most obvious and widely-available export is far from the best ambassador. If you think Leffe is good, prepare to be blown away by the stuff Belgian beer buffs drink! [4 crates of Westvleteren in my cellar: yah boo]
I believe the point of the wooden structure is to prevent heat transfer from your hand to the beer. It's also why wine glasses have stems, and why you're not supposed to hold the 'globe' of the glass, only the stem. "Hoppy" is a reference to hops, which are the green 'buds' that are used in production of many beers. They 'typically' have a floral/citrusy and even piney smell/taste, though, they also produce the 'bitter' flavor in beer (the higher the IBU, which stands for International Bitterness Units, generally, the more hops have been used...though, some beers like Heady Topper from Alchemist have MASSIVE amounts of hops, but isn't super bitter)
Actually, no. Hop yards don't have a strong smell to them, and while my hops in my yard go insane all over, they don't smell strong, either, until I pick the fresh, green hops.
Having visited Belgium in October,I have to say Belgians know how to make beers!. My favourite being wipers times 16,and any of the st bernardus range.
You clearly have no idea about the history of beer. Beer was brewed at between 3 % - 4% in England as a refreshing drink after a day in the coal mines - drunk in pints.

the kwak beer is called like that, because when you drink it (because of the shape of the glass) it makes a 'quack' sound these glasses are also quite expensive, so the owners of some bars ask a shoe to hang in a basket on the ceiling, to make sure that you don't run away with it
2:14 : "What the hell happened?!?" I tell you: kwak glasses are made so, if you're not careful enough you'll BATHE in it when you drink from that glass. That's why I only drink Kwak from the bottle! (I know I shouldn't!)
No matter what video I watch Shannon just wins at life. She could be paired with one of my favourites & I won’t even see them next to her! Shannon, you’re a national treasure 🇨🇮
FOR THE GLASS OF THE KWAK: Its particularity is to be served in a particular form of glass, the "Cocher glass". (cocher = Person driving a carriage.) According to the brewery, this glass would have been created for them, its shape allowing them to hang the glass to the carriage to consume it without descending. PS: We're waiting for Part 2 with Trappist this time ;)
i always heard it was named because of the sound it makes when you drink too fast near the small part of the glass. The air slips in and makes a 'kwak' sound like you can hear at 2:18
I'm not much of a beer drinker myself but when I drink beer, I go for 'Westmalle dubbel' or 'Adriaen Brouwer Dark Gold - Roman'. It was nice to see you try Belgian beers! Also, don't down it like that! Savour it!
That proof that the rest of the world drink beer to get drunk and not enjoy it. The great diversity of beers in Belgium is accompanied by a rich local beer culture, something that most Belgians are very proud of. Belgium has countless cafés where a large number of beers are poured or tapped. For optimum taste, every beer must be served at its "ideal" temperature (usually between 8 and 15 ° C), with the correct height of the head. Every beer is poured in its own specific glass, a rule that is rarely deviated from. Beer culture in Belgium is officially protected by the UN.
I love your videos, specially the ones where people taste test alcohol, they're hilarious! Way better than Buzzfeed and similars. Greetings from Brasil!
A Belgian beers taste test and no Hoegaarden!? The name alone would've been good for 3 minutes worth of exclamations, especially if you'd thought to include Dermot the Drunk!
You are quite annoying with your insistent posts about the contributors names in the descriptions. It's honestly not that hard to find them if you truly want to.
Drinking an 8% lager at the moment. Delirium is a favorite, but nothing tops Spaten Optimator, a German stout. A malt rich mellow 7%, it can only be found on tap. After a liter or two, any conversation is pleasant.:)
And btw Kwak is named after the brewer called Pauwel Kwak. The shape of the glass is formed that way because of the horse carriages. Back in Napoleon times the riders of the carriage couldn't abandon their horses, so they made a little holder on their carriage so the glass could fit there. Hence the wooding thing you need to drink kwak and hence the name "koetsiersbier" in Belgium or "carriage beer"
Kwak was used by horsemen which brought post to people...the had those glasses on the carriage so due to the form of the glass it couldn't fall off...the sound when the beer was poured into the glass gave the name to the beer KWAK
Irish people tasting Belgian beers is like a group of hooligans visiting the Sistine chapel

Chugging Leffe like a bunch of lads is a bloody crime. It is to be savored. How dare you sirs.

Yes! Here Leffe is considered as a low brand brewed in mass. Quantity over quality, it's a shame.
Here in northern France and Belgium, Leffe has a pretty bad reputation, actually like the most basic beer you can drink! And 6.6 is just not enough.
Not surprising when you weigh it up... mass-produced multinational conglomerate brand... the most obvious and widely-available export is far from the best ambassador. If you think Leffe is good, prepare to be blown away by the stuff Belgian beer buffs drink! [4 crates of Westvleteren in my cellar: yah boo]

Actually, fresh hops smell like weed, to which it is related.
Yeah, and weed can have floral, or citrusy, or piney notes (and quite often does).
To me, it just smells like skunk! Half the time I can't even go out in my yard, the growing place a block away stinks up the entire neighbourhood!
Marijuana can be extremely stinky, no doubt. I would imagine a Hops farm is similar though, very pungent aromas for both plants.
Actually, no. Hop yards don't have a strong smell to them, and while my hops in my yard go insane all over, they don't smell strong, either, until I pick the fresh, green hops.

2:14 : "What the hell happened?!?" I tell you: kwak glasses are made so, if you're not careful enough you'll BATHE in it when you drink from that glass. That's why I only drink Kwak from the bottle! (I know I shouldn't!)
Go to Amsterdam for a smoke video with those two brothers and the red head with glasses
No matter what video I watch Shannon just wins at life. She could be paired with one of my favourites & I won’t even see them next to her!
Shannon, you’re a national treasure 🇨🇮
As a Belgian, some of those remarks were hurtfull :'( howcan you say that theleffe tastes the same as the chouffe???
FOR THE GLASS OF THE KWAK:
Its particularity is to be served in a particular form of glass, the "Cocher glass". (cocher = Person driving a carriage.)
According to the brewery, this glass would have been created for them, its shape allowing them to hang the glass to the carriage to consume it without descending.
PS: We're waiting for Part 2 with Trappist this time ;)
i always heard it was named because of the sound it makes when you drink too fast near the small part of the glass. The air slips in and makes a 'kwak' sound like you can hear at 2:18
So nobody's talking about what Shannon's doing with that bottle at 4:08?
Joseph Greene wow. What a shitty thing to say.
You seem to be replying to every post about Shannon with raging hatred. You have a problem. She looks like a nice girl.
YES Leffe is sold in the USA as well, it's fantastic.
There is everytime one guy from Belgium who watching this...
Like me..🤭😋
I had Gulden Draak while I was in Ghent last year and it was absolutely stunning. One of my favourites
Irish People taste test cannabis edibles, please.
callsign_pottedmeat 1 That might be illigal maybe.
Cheeza Ryuurei maybe on a Facts. field trip to Colorado maybe?
Maybe in countries where it's legal yes,it might be possible but would be a significant budget for just one video.
callsign_pottedmeat 1 um. Fuck yes!
Thank you for the good promotions of our Belgian beers. I am drinking a Westmalle trappist now.
Whoever hit Shannon with a tranq dart.... you're a saint.
Ohh god,.. serve the beer in the correct glass! Golden rule in Belgium ... always serve the beer in the correct glasses :-)
Paddy is so handsome.
I find this a little bit offensive... to my nostrils 😂😂
I'm not much of a beer drinker myself but when I drink beer, I go for 'Westmalle dubbel' or 'Adriaen Brouwer Dark Gold - Roman'. It was nice to see you try Belgian beers! Also, don't down it like that! Savour it!
*Irish people watch Doctor Who.*
Sean M Drunk Irish people watch Dr Who.
That proof that the rest of the world drink beer to get drunk and not enjoy it.
The great diversity of beers in Belgium is accompanied by a rich local beer culture, something that most Belgians are very proud of. Belgium has countless cafés where a large number of beers are poured or tapped. For optimum taste, every beer must be served at its "ideal" temperature (usually between 8 and 15 ° C), with the correct height of the head. Every beer is poured in its own specific glass, a rule that is rarely deviated from.
Beer culture in Belgium is officially protected by the UN.
That thumbnail tho.
I love your videos, specially the ones where people taste test alcohol, they're hilarious! Way better than Buzzfeed and similars. Greetings from Brasil!
A Belgian beers taste test and no Hoegaarden!? The name alone would've been good for 3 minutes worth of exclamations, especially if you'd thought to include Dermot the Drunk!
Dude, that's not even one of our good beers. Everything they had was far superior. ;-)
I think the point of this video is to give them special/trappist beers not common beers
why they give Leffe then? it's the most common beer ever, you find it like in every country ^^
Lol there are many beers that are better than Hoegaarden!
Shannon is awesome. I love her so much.
Its ok people, they put the contributors' names in the description.
You are quite annoying with your insistent posts about the contributors names in the descriptions. It's honestly not that hard to find them if you truly want to.
Drinking an 8% lager at the moment. Delirium is a favorite, but nothing tops Spaten Optimator, a German stout. A malt rich mellow 7%, it can only be found on tap. After a liter or two, any conversation is pleasant.:)
Hi ! I'm Belgian and i'm proud you liked those beers ! Next time try "Bush Ambrée" . It's a 12% alcohol beer !
bush caractère, 14%
by far my fav facts video cause of how hilarious Seán is ROFL
And btw Kwak is named after the brewer called Pauwel Kwak. The shape of the glass is formed that way because of the horse carriages. Back in Napoleon times the riders of the carriage couldn't abandon their horses, so they made a little holder on their carriage so the glass could fit there. Hence the wooding thing you need to drink kwak and hence the name "koetsiersbier" in Belgium or "carriage beer"
"What does it smell like COLINNN!" xD
Love all of you..and I am.sold..i am buying my cuppa tea shirt right now!!
Kwak was used by horsemen which brought post to people...the had those glasses on the carriage so due to the form of the glass it couldn't fall off...the sound when the beer was poured into the glass gave the name to the beer KWAK
Lovely to see how much fun they have with Belgian beer
this channel shows with every video how much fun the irish people are 😂
Gulden Draak!! My daughter and I did a review of the 9000 version. Very good stuff.
